CNN host Don Lemon said on Monday night that "thoughts and prayers" were not enough in the wake of the recent shooting in a Texas church.

Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Don’t get me wrong. Prayers are important. They really are. But can we just be honest for a moment? And this is not about religion. It’s not about politics. Democrats do it too.

...

These God-fearing Christians were in church. They were already praying. Thoughts and prayers did not stop an oversight from the justice system which enabled a guy who attacked his stepson and assaulted his wife from getting a gun.

Thoughts and prayers didn’t stop a troubled person from buying assault grade weapons that took the lives of 26 people in an instant. And please don’t get me wrong. This is not at all about the Second Amendment or taking guns out of the hands of responsible gun owners.

...

So tonight, I hope you will join me in praying that our leaders will actually do something of substance and action this time that precludes another thoughts and prayers moment.

Remember this. Faith without works is dead.

The tragic shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas left 26 people dead and more wounded. Eight of those killed were members of the same family. Yet our nation's prayers for the loss of innocent life met with anger and annoyance from the left.

Lemon is hardly the only public figure treating thoughts and prayers with apparent indignation.

It is perfectly fine to have strong views on gun control. But why direct anger at Americans who are praying for victims? Prayer gives people hope and makes people feel unified after a tragic event.

Many times, shootings like the one in Texas brings out the best in humanity. We see people risk their lives to save their neighbors, and communities come together in the aftermath. But other times, unfortunately, tragic events bring out the worst in politics. And in this case, the nasty, sneering left is using the death of 26 people to push a political agenda and vilify those who pray.

“No one is saying that strict gun laws and draconian punishments for gun violence will eradicate gun violence/mass shootings, but if there can be a reduction of gun violence/mass shootings on any level, then that is a success as opposed to doing fuck all and have gun violence and mass shootings be business as usual.”

The simple fact is that the vast majority of gun crimes are by commited by Democrats against other Democrats. So the only logical solution is to ban Democrats.

Since you have a reading comprehension problem – I will repeat myself.

No one is saying that strict gun laws and draconian punishments for gun violence will eradicate gun violence/mass shootings, but if there can be a reduction of gun violence/mass shootings on any level, then that is a success as opposed to doing fuck all and have gun violence and mass shootings be business as usual.

How does this not make sense to you? Every life that can be saved from reduction is a win.-———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

It does not make sense because you just said it would not really work. It has never worked and it will never work. Bataclan, Nice, New York, London, Berlin.

All you are going to do is disarm law abiding people. Criminals will not obey new laws any more than old ones. As the Governor of North Dakota said when the introduced their Constitutional Carry law, “Criminals have always had concealed carry. Why should we restrict law abiding people?”
My reading comprehension is fine. Your logic and history comprehension are woefully lacking.

Doing something is better than doing nothing. If there can be any reduction at all – that’s better than nothing. No one is claiming that any such new laws will eradicate gun violence.

I love the notion from people like you that think doing nothing is doing better than something. Reminds me of that Simpsons episode with Ned’s beatnik parents – “we’ve tried nothing, man and we are all out of ideas”.-—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
They did lots in France, Frank. Just about impossible to own guns in France. How’d that go at the Bataclan?

Or how about in Nice or Berlin? One muzzle in a truck and the score is the same.

Since you like pithy little rejoinders how about this one:
“Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is called insanity”.

And I particularly like this one from C.S. Lewis. It fits the lefty mentality so well:

“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

I can’t think of a video I have ever seen on YOUTUBE that I actually like more. Just as there is lag time on 911 calls…there is lag time on prayers being answered….in spite of the militant atheists…even the militant tactical atheists….even the militant “my god is greater than your god” deluded that their’s is the only mom’s home cooking version and all others are their legitamit targets…this man is living proof that the prayers of the righteous do not go unheard and unanswered.

You want to do something, close the damn southern border, make sure all areas of the regulatory process communicate with each other when doing back ground checks. If you can’t get rid of everyone else’s gun, I am keeping mine. People like Lemon, Frank and the rest of them want people to be vulnerable instead of protected.

So the laws we have were ignored but if pile on a few more that will solve the problem? What is it with lefties and their love of paper work?
Scripture says it best, “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can understand it?”

The heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart. Paperwork and laws won’t change that.

Well there Frank. Jimmy, Sarah, do you feel all more better now you parasitic prick. All this from a leftist regressive fucktard coward that continually hides behind fake names. Hypocrisy at its finest. I suggest going outside to play hide and go fuck yourself.

I know the faith over facts crowd don’t want to hear this, but prayer obviously does fuck all. If there is one place that these people should have been saved by a miracle – it’s God’s house.

Now prayer may be helpful to people after the fact – to comfort them after this tragedy, but when are people going to wake up and realize that praying to God achieves the exact same result as praying to Santa Claus, because there is no difference here.
